  1. Hi Erin – Currently the widget only seems to work on self-hosted WP blogs 🙁

    A bunch of folks have been asking for a version that would work with WordPress.com blogs — I’m going to talk to Peter and Eric about getting a version that would work for you and others. It would be AWESOME if you could add the widget and connect your readers to related actions 🙂 Will let you know! Thanks! – Joe
